Introduction:
 The CanSat is a great project for the students to take their first
step into satellites and the space technology. Camera Sensors Arduino
 It’s a minimized module of the CubeSat .
 We’ve started our project by setting our goals to get the amount
of information we need.

A lot of competitions has been held over this topic like the C’Space
2015 at Camp du Ger and the European CanSat competition in Arduino RX TX
2017…

i. The canSat that we made is a 10cm height and 3.5cm
diameter.
ii. It can measures the temperature, humidity, CO level, and it is
also equipped with a camera.
iii. The CanSat is a first step for students in order to learn how to
make a CubeSat.
iv. There is also some competitions made where students can
present their CanSat and try it in front of all people and the
best team gets some various prizes.

Design:
 The frame is 3D printed using the PLA material.
 The dimension of the Can is based on the
components size.
 Parachute to decelerate the descent speed.
 Anti-shock: 1- a top and base skirt made
of rubber/caoutchouc.
2- the boards in the can will be
attached to springs to absorb the descent shock

Missions:
1. Measure the temperature and humidity.
2. Measure the atmospheric pressure.
3.
4.
Calculate the altitude.
Calculate the descent speed and acceleration.
Conclusion:
5. Record a video while descending and save on SD- The CanSat our team have made can measure temperature,
card. humidity, CO gas level in the air, and can take some
6. Transfer the collected data to the station while photos from above. It is also equipped with a parachute
descending. that will slow its fall down and with some shock absorbers
that will save it from being destroyed when it gets to the
ground.
